Lionsgate Extends CEO Jon Feltheimer Contract Through 2031

Lionsgate Entertainment gave CEO Jon Feltheimer a two-year contract extension that will keep him in charge through July 2031. The company announced the move Wednesday in a filing with federal regulators.

Feltheimer has led Lionsgate for more than a quarter-century, making him one of the longest-serving CEOs in Hollywood. The company had already extended his contract once before in 2024.

Lionsgate is known for hit movie franchises like John Wick and The Hunger Games, plus TV shows including Mad Men and Orange Is the New Black. The company has been working through major changes in the entertainment industry as streaming services reshape how people watch movies and shows.

The extension gives Lionsgate continuity in its executive leadership during a time when many media companies are dealing with cord-cutting, changing viewer habits, and increased competition from tech giants like Netflix and Amazon.
